Benjamin
Boyd
Original
Member of the Presbytery of Hartford, ordained 12 Nov 1806, died at age
83 years source
These
congregations [Pymatuning, Beula and Trumbull] constituted the original
charge of Rev. Benjamin Boyd, and all seem to have become extinct.
They were situated near the boundary line of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Mr. Boyd was installed over them November 12, 1806, and was dismissed in
1809. These churches seem to have declined soon after. The
names of Beula and Trumbull do not appear on the roll after the year
1810; and Pymatuning is not mentioned after 1813. The membership
was probably drawn to churches springing up in more favorable locations
in the neighborhood.
